Taxi Business Support Grant
Taxis are an essential part of our rural transportation ecosystem and meet a wide variety of needs within the community. This micro-granting program is designed to encourage sustainability and improvement for local taxi operators in the face of a rapidly evolving sector and increased costs of operating. The intake window is from May 15 – September 15, 2024. Only applications submitted during this period will be considered.
Projects will be evaluated based on their ability to achieve the following objectives:
- More vehicles and drivers available for hire in Prince Edward County, especially during peak demand times.
- Safer, modernized and more comfortable vehicles and services.
- Increased capacity to provide service to locations outside of Picton, and/or to increase service hours or days of week.
Eligible businesses can receive between $2,000 and $18,000 to support projects that meet the criteria outlined at Rural Transportation Support Program (communityfutures.co). Successful applicants will be required to contribute a minimum of 20 per cent of the total project costs. This program is funded by the County of Prince Edward and managed by Community Futures.
The Taxi Business Support Grant is funded through the Tourism Management Plan.
